How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Support Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy

Supporting Cancer Recovery with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at Cocoon

Cancer treatments like chemotherapy can be incredibly taxing on the body. At Cocoon Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, we understand the importance of supporting your recovery process during this challenging time. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) offers a natural, safe way to help accelerate healing and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.

How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing in pure oxygen while inside a pressurised chamber. This increased oxygen intake allows your body to receive higher levels of oxygen than normal, promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and aiding recovery from various medical conditions, including the side effects of chemotherapy.

At Cocoon, we provide soft-shell hyperbaric chambers that offer the same healing benefits, but with ease and comfort for home use. These chambers are portable and allow for regular treatment in the comfort of your own space.

Can Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Help After Chemotherapy?

For cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, healing is crucial, and HBOT can provide immense support. Chemotherapy often causes damage to healthy tissues in addition to targeting cancer cells, leading to side effects such as fatigue, nausea, and cognitive difficulties. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps by:

  • Promoting Healing: Oxygen accelerates the repair of damaged tissues, reducing the recovery time after chemotherapy.

  • Reducing Fatigue: HBOT improves oxygen circulation in the body, reducing feelings of fatigue that chemotherapy can cause.

  • Supporting Cognitive Function: Chemotherapy can result in cognitive challenges, often referred to as "chemo brain." HBOT’s oxygen-rich environment may help improve brain function by increasing oxygen supply to the brain.

Considerations Before Undergoing HBOT

It is important to note that some chemotherapy drugs may not be compatible with mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy. If you have received chemotherapy in the last three months, please let us know. Our experienced team at Cocoon will assess your medical history to ensure your therapy is safe and effective.
